Teir Garanoù (2023)

Water birds were seen as magical in many Celtic folklores, as they were living in the three worlds (water, sky, and land), and often represented in groups of three. The Breton name of the crane, garan, also means "etching, carving, engraving", and garaniñ or garanañ means "to carve, to engrave". In Breton, the expression chom garanet (literally "to keep engraved") means to remember something vividly; and so, cranes were associated with memory and knowledge. This association can also be seen in Irish mythology, where some stories say that Manannán mac Lir's crane bag contained, on top of his many other treasures, the letters of the first Ogham, the Irish alphabet that was originally written carved on stones

More favourite tropes:

  • “Unfortunately, [thing that would ordinarily be described in much stronger terms than ‘unfortunate’].”  
  • “Fortunately, [thing that is in no way fortunate].”  
  • “Unfortunately, [thing that would be fortunate in nearly any circumstance except the particular circumstance at hand].“  
  • “Fortunately, [very minor benefit that absolutely does not offset the considerable drawbacks of whatever just happened].“  
  • “Unfortunately, [the exact, word-for-word thing that somebody just expressed that they hope won’t happen].“  
  • “Fortunately, [complete non sequitur].”

And may I add

“Fortunately, [thing]. Unfortunately, [the exact same thing].”

you're so right hen

get mad. get rageful. debate all you like because im sending them to the death arena and you can't stop me

I love how all the notes are like "one of these is Just A Guy and the other one is a monster-fighting superhero with alien magic powers"

I think Steven would kill him but like. on accident. He’s not very used to fighting enemies that can’t recover from almost any wound. After, he would be left with the moral dilemma of whether he should bring him back to life though.

When Steven brings people back, they no longer have the desire to eat. So immortal but not able to enjoy his own cooking would be punishment.

Also Hannibal would be pink, head to toe. He'd be mortified to be seen by anyone.

Going to add something here as a few people in the notes don't know the significance of the date here, or think this might be a dig at Sesame Street somehow - on November 18th, 2003, there was an absolutely landmark legal case in the state of Massachusetts that ruled that civil unions in that state needed to be given the same rights as marriage. This was HUGE - gay marriage was not legally recognized in any state at the time, and civil unions were the closest you could get. This is a WONDERFULLY hopeful, sweet comic drawn five whole days after an enormous, major step forward for gay marriage POSSIBLY being legal. Massachusetts wouldn't even properly legalize gay marriage until May 2004, and it was the first state to do so.

You can Google Goodridge v Department of Public Health for more details.
